As far as chords go, this entire song is just a jam in E. I'll include the tab for the horn section but just jam with boogie woogie blues riffs in E throughout the entire song. E the entire time! I done Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran North Korea tell me where does it end? Well the bodies keep piling up with every day How many more are they gonna send Well they send their sons and daughters off to die for some oil and to control the heroin Well son I hope you don?t grow up Believing that you?ve got to be a puppet to be a man Well they cut off your hair and put a badge on your arm Strip you of your identity Tell you to keep your mouth shut boy and get in the line Meet your maker overseas Wearing that Kim Jong-il hat while your grandma?s selling pills stat Meanwhile, I?m wearing my ?can?t pay my fucking bills? hat Nobody?s looking up to care about a drone All too busy looking down at our phone Our ego?s begging for food like a dog from our feed Refreshing obsessively until our eyes start to bleed They serve up distractions and we eat them with fries Until the bombs fall out of our fucking skies Horn interlude e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--12--------------12-12--------------------12-----------12-----------------| D|------14-12-14-12-------14------12-13-14-------14-12-14----------12-13-14--| A|-----------------------------14-------------------------------14-----------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Solo (guitar and piano) Turn off the TV Turn off the news Nothing to see here They?re serving the blues Bullshit on my TV Bullshit on my radio Hollywood telling me how to be me The bullshit?s got to go If you have any input or corrections, hit me up on Twitter and let me know if you have any songs you need help with. God bless!
